Solomon Burke - Up The Mountain (feat. Patty Griffin) lyrics

I went up to the mountain
Because you asked me to up over the clouds
To where the sky was blue
I could see all around me everywhere
I could see all around me everywhere
Sometimes I feel like
I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down no more can I do
But then I go on again because you ask me to
Some days I look down afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines
I see nothing at all
Then I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go
Telling me softly you love me so
The peaceful valley just over the mountain
The peaceful valley few come to know
I may never get there ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later it's there I will go
Sooner or later it's there I will go
